butter prices

i want to get a female butter to breed to my spider. my spiders only 160 grams so this is not happening any time soon obviously but im looking for a butter around this size maybe a little bigger so i can have them to raise up while i learn about breeding

anyway my question is what should i expect to pay for a young female butter

Smaller lesser/butter females are around $400 right now, some are $400 shipped others are plus shipping (~$450).

I've seen nice ones for $450 plus shipping.

$400-500.

theres a small show every month and 2 big ones every other moneth all within a hour and a half from me so i will most likely be picking up and wont have to worry about shipping luckily

They'll probably run cheaper if its from a show. Shows always have good deals.

WOW!!! Hit a show!!!! They are some high prices. I live in Phila, PA and I always go to the Hamburg, PA show and the OAks show. Next weekend I am hitting the Reading, PA show and I know for a fact that there will be Butters there for way less. I know this because a Butter is my next purchase when I have the funds. The breeder that I deal with has males for 200-250 and females for 300... Maybe even less!! Hit a show!!!

At the last white plains, ny show i saw 2 lesser males for $250 and they were 2 of the nicest i have ever seen. The other ones on the table were seperate and were $200

That is a waste of money right there. I would never pay that much for a Butter. Especially online. I have to handle and see in person what I am purchasing. That's just me though. Some internet breeders are way over priced and over rated. People say..."well you are paying for good customer service, high quality animals and questions answered around the clock. Believe me when I tell you that you can get the same great c/s from a breeder at a show. If anything they want to be ready and always willing to answer questions and help people out because they aren't over rated internet breeders who try to clock people over the head with their prices. DOn't get me wrong they have gorgeous animals, but I mean the prices!!! Come on guys and girls. Really?!?!
I DO see tons of eye-popping animals at these shows I go to. The prices are very reasonable, the breeders love what they do and are knowledgeable and they are not quick to try and sell people the most expensive morph they got.
I won't say who but there is a popular breeder on the web who has Killerbees for 1200 buck... Well I saw one in person at the last show I was at that was beautiful for 850...
Sorry for the rant. I am not trying to start a big thing, but I just wanted to get that out there.... bottom line hit a show!!! OK im done.. :D (sry if there are any typeo's)
